CART 1993 - Cleveland - Mansell vs Fittipaldi

[gargantuate]

top quality racing! mansell will always be a hero of mine

[atbimagesllc]

The lost art of driving.

[danielmclegg]

I notice Nigel gets held up by one Olivier Grouillard at one point... I bet he thought he'd got away from that guy when he left F1 for the USA!!! A constant presence infront of him, a lap down and ignoring blue flags...

Indycar at its peak!

[yomammaspoodle]

what a stupid track. an airfield is not a track

[mad122780]

@yomammaspoodle You're a fool!

[yomammaspoodle]

@mad122780 Maybe, maybe not, but just because you have 1 good battle doesn't mean that track isn't a dull one with no elevation change, no technical turns, and an extremely wide paved area.

[mad122780]

@yomammaspoodle That track had plenty of great battles over the years. It was a great venue that tested the cars ability in wide open street racing. Zanardi winning there was a classic race.

[bgcatfan]

@yomammaspoodle Cleveland has almost always been one of my favorite tracks AND races to watch. I think it's really cool that it's set up on an airport, not stupid. And many races over the years have featured exciting battles for the win. Just my opinion. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. You are to yours. But is it really stupid? Do you think all temporary street circuits are stupid? Just curious. On a side note, I really wish INDYCAR would add this back to their schedule.

[jbmass06]

@bgcatfan IMO there are too much street circuits in the Indycar schedule. I mean, there are awesome permanent circuits in the US.... Why go to so much street circuits?

[bgcatfan]

@jbmass06 I agree. But I'd still like to see Cleveland on the schedule. I hope as they get more stable in the next couple years they'll be able to add some of the permanent circuits back. And maybe find a successful date for Milwaukee, too, but that probably won't happen...

[Alvillar18]

Epic side by side racing at high speeds.  Gotta love it!

[Taikamya]

Looking at the facts now. Fittipaldi is A LOT older than Mansell. Also Fittipaldi didn't race in F1 golden era. Fittipaldi raced at a time that the car was a lot harder to drive, but also a lot less powerful. Mansell was completely used to the more powerful cars. So competing in the Indy racing was easier to Mansell, the cars were more powerful, they needed less setup that the F1 in the 70's and he was younger, wich means more agressivity and better reflexes.

Nevertheless, AWESOME battle. *****

[wks1978]

@Taikamya Fittipaldi is only 7 years older than Mansell.

Don't forget that Fittipaldi had driven in CART in the 1980's and was very used to the cars by this time.

It's 3 world tiltles over there, not 4.

[bryonlape]

I truly miss these days. Do they even run at Cleveland anymore?

[MrBillydoo]

This race was my very first Indycar race. I went to see the reigning world champion but - I ended up being a Paul Tracy fan.

[Bleifuss88]

What an amazing battle, what kind of motor racing! And Tony George destroyed everything! :-((

[elkyf1]

And who won this battle?

[apm78229]

@elkyf1 Podium was Paul Tracy - Emmo- Nigel

[Elbrusbase]

@elkyf1 Emerson

[sixpak1996]

@elkyf1 Emmo of course.

[alankellnon]

UNBELIEVEBLE!

Two legends!

[stayontheseroads]

Cart was great. Never got the airtime it deserved in the UK sadly. Perhaps Indy and Cart should have got together to challenge F1. I love F1, but a challenge is do-able given the constant bickering between teams and bias towards Ferrari. If a raceshow comes along and has faster laptimes than F1 it is do-able.

[mikeatan]

@stayontheseroads the thing is, to have this great kind of racing, you just can't lap faster than F1's do. Formula 1 cars produce too much downforce and produce amazingly fast laptimes, but they also are too much aero-dependant, so it's pretty much impossible for them to race this hard, as they can't race too close to each other . So they come up with stupid ideas like moveable wings and KERS and crap that produce fake racing, if any racing at all.

[Donfrak]

Two of the best drivers ever lived. From two traditional contries of automobilism, Brazil and UK. Greetings _o_

[formulasaab]

The difference here is not that there is passing, but that there is REPEATED passing. Today, such evenly matched cars would just end up with a wheel or wing ripped off. This is respect and real racecraft, not just vehicular bullying.

[DePalmez]

What a battle!! Classic champions, respect, gentlemen!

[cortkatanakx1q]

Miss CART/Champ car and I'm from EU. :(

[carsismeZ06]

This is how American open-wheel racing should be. It should be comparable to F1 in competition. Hopefully it will be in 2012.

[toureyaya24]

wow, this is just a copy of F1 with actually F1 drivers in it. They should name this sport F1 America lol

[sanarkhos]

@toureyaya24 CART was superior to F1. There was actual passing!

[toureyaya24]

@sanarkhos I don't know in what age you lived or you were either in prison or either locked up in a room without a TV but in 1993 there was also a lot of overtaking in F1 so stop talking sh*t.

[Elbrusbase]

@toureyaya24 You rigth, Donnington 1993 is a example, Senna gives a "Classroom" how to driving in the rain and overtake 4 superior cars in one lap.

[toureyaya24]

@Elbrusbase Indeed, that lap was pure masterclass,definitely one of the most amazing laps driven in F1.

[fordfocusonme]

What they had in yesterday year. Awesome chassis, awesome engines, awesome circuits, and RESPECT - yes folks respect for one another.

[Yngchtonlambert]

Génial ! Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo

[ibeatthechief]

Fuck Bobby was a great announcer

[rantanamo]

We need Cleveland back on the schedule. It was always awesome

[Barros1586]

The Fittipaldi era Phoda. Very good

[ThiPol01]

Correction: Fittipaldi has 2 World titles and Mansell 1, then, are 3 titles to the whole.

[RFRAsus83]
